Mixing

Premix each component separately.; For color consistency, box all part A's. In a clean bucket, mix 2 parts A with 1 part B (by volume) of EC-12.; Mix thoroughly with a low speed (400-600 rpm) drill motor for 3-4 minutes.; Make sure to scrape the sides and bottom of the container during mixing.; After mixing is completed, remove material from container within 5 minutes, as epoxy will begin to generate heat.; Spread immediately onto the floor.; As product is spread out, you will have longer working time (10-15 minutes at 70°F).

Building & Construction

Clean Up

Uncured material should be removed with an environmentally-safe solvent.; Cured material should be removed mechanically.

Coverage

EC-12 covers up to 300 square feet per gallon under normal conditions, which will achieve 5.2 dry mils.. EC-12 may be applied at a heavier rate to achieve a higher build system or to accommodate the broadcasting of aggregates.

Dry Time

You may re-coat as soon as the surface is dry to touch or in about 4-8 hours (but not later than 24 hours).; Light foot traffic may be permitted in 8-10 hours, light vehicle traffic in 48 hours, heavy traffic in 3 days.; All times are based on average temperature of 70 degrees F and 50% humidity.; Cooler temperatures will increase drying time.

Moisture

All concrete should be tested for moisture before applying a seamless coating.. If moisture emissions exceed 5 lbs/1000 square feet/24 hours (ASTM F1869) or if the relative humidity (RH) exceeds 75% (ASTM F2170), contact the manufacturer before application.

Pot Life

32 minutes (Gel Time, 150gm, 72°F)

Thinning

Thin EC-12 with 1 to 2 quarts of CA-23 or acetone or in some cases, EC-12 may be thinned up to equal parts with CA-23 or acetone.; Thinned material must be applied at less than 5 mils to cure properly.; Do not allow material to puddle.

PACKAGING

1.5 gal & 15 gal kits available.

Advantages

• USDA/FDA Compliant
• 100% Solids
• Low Viscosity
• Chemical Resistant
• High Build
• Convenient 2:1 Mix
• High Strength
• Superior Adhesion

Inspection

The surface must be structurally sound, clean, dry and free of grease, paint, oil, dust, curing agents, laitance or any foreign material that will prevent proper adhesion.; The concrete should be at least 2,500 PSI and porous or rough enough to allow the product to soak in.; A minimum of 28 days curing time is required on all concrete.; Prior to starting work, test existing concrete slab for efflorescence, moisture and hydrostatic pressure.
